and local authorities and what these guys are trying to do.

We have a ton of resources, a ton of ICE agents in this city right now that I would rather us not have.

I'd love to send those guys home.

They're not even doing targeted immigration enforcement.

They are trying to protect

ICE officers who are doing immigration enforcement because when a crowd surrounds them and these guys call 911, the local officials, the local cops have been told to stand down.

We have a criminal migrant who is a sex offender.

And let's say that we've got to go and arrest that person who, Democrat or Republican, wants a- Cops, cops, that's who arrest that person, not ICE.

And try to find where this criminal sex offender is today.

The local authorities have been told, do not cooperate.

So these guys are trying to go out and enforce the law.

They're trying to arrest sex offenders, but they're trying to do it in an environment where local officials have been told, do not help them, do not provide intelligence about where these sex offenders might be.

This is disgraceful.

And there are a lot of things that all of us could do better to lower the temperature, but the number one thing that I learned today is that the best way to facilitate reasonable enforcement of the law, but also to lower the chaos in Minneapolis,

would be for state and local officials to cooperate.

Now I will say, on one final positive note, I actually think that there's some hope, some reason to think that there's gonna be better cooperation in the weeks and months to come.

I think that because I've talked to some of the local officials here, I think there are reasons to believe

that these people are going to step up and actually ask the cops to protect our officers when they're being assaulted, who are going to ask the local courts to cooperate with getting criminal sex offenders out of our community.

That's a good thing.

That's the good news.
